Hello,
Has anyone gotten back to you on this? We would love to have Full USB
support in libpayload. We have UHCI support now. I am not sure if OHCI
works or not and EHCI would be awesome to see :-) I believe there will be
licencing differences to use SeaBIOS USB code for libpayload. Hope that
helps.
